Northwest Guilford High School

My daughter has excelled in this school district and now has her choice of colleges around the country. If you are willing to work hard and take the tougher AP classes, the resources such as great teachers and great peers are there. The school is award winning in academic standards testing and the administration is very supportive. Sports and the band are also very high achieving and active.

Northwest has a really great marching band program. It continues to grow every year, thanks to it's director Brian McMath.

I am a student who has just moved to Northwest High School. I have found, in my couple months of being here that Northwest has a very challenging environment, which is a good thing, but sometimes whether their goal is getting awards or achieving a high level of student satisfaction and education.

I am a recent graduate of Northwest High School and was an athlete in three sports. I found that the coaches checked on the grades of their athletes and academics to be made a priority. The teachers were willing to work with students, but they also expected students to grow through their high school years to develop good work ethics; so that student's would be better prepared for success in college and the work place. I feel like the challenging classes and teacher expectations have made me a better student and well prepared for college. I hope that this does not change for future students.

Our family settled here in Greensboro after 20 years of moving due to my husband's Naval Career. We have had our children in many public schools across the country. We are extremely happy with the high level of education our children have received at this school. It is a high performing school, where the parents, staff, and community all work together to give the students a great education which is not limited to just academics. There is a wide verity of clubs and activities available to the students. Although it is not a perfect school, the students, parents and the staff are constantly looking for ways to improve the school environment, enhance the academic offerings and make each child feel valued and important
